Michael, I will play with your ideas. I seldom use flash either, but the contrasty lighting and the orange glow from the trees might have left the image with a color cast. I used the flash mostly to eliminate the strong shadows that might have sprottled her face. A tighter crop might help with it as well as a bit of post processing.

what an intense gaze. is she always that solemn?

Cute kid...move her to have the sun behind her back and she won't have to squint.

I know it is inevitable that I am going to get some bumps for

something wrong in the photo. I do not mind the scores, but I would

truly appreciate your wit and insight as to how I might improve the

composition or lighting or background or something. Even if you think

it is a good portrait, please tell me what you DID like about it. I

was purposeful here today. I used FILL FLASH because the kid's

pictures on Thursday had too many shadows. I liked the lighting and

the slight color cast it offered. That warm color glow reminds me of

fall. So, let me hear your opinion, please!

like this perhaps

Help me improve this image. Tell me what you like and what is not

working here.

What do you think?

A wonderful b o d y s c a p e!

Loved in the other forum...nothing different here. Great nude abstract. Something that keeps drawing the eyes into the image. 7

Wonderful...Atlas-like. Great tones and shadows. Maybe too much negative space on the left.

Thanks, Bill. The color does look better. Actually liked the two small people for perspective. I did shoot quite a few images as I walked around the building. One side is not accessible and viewable.

I will take the bitter with the sweet. Apart from the lighting

fixture in the upper left, what would improve this image?

Lighting practice. I wanted to see what an umbrella could do to help

me reduce the reflections from strobes. I like the softer lighting,

but wonder about placement. Do the shadows look OK? Is the focus on

the right screw slightly soft compared to the left? Is the slight

askance angle distracting? This is a level shot, but the chainsaw

angles up this way! Thanks for your help!

I really want to have information from you, besides the points (the

damn bloody points). I am really trying to work on composition and

image preparation. Of course, the points are subjective and dependent

upon other issues. Help me with your brilliant insight. TIA-Luke

i simply love these abstract nudes. pure form/shape

too blurred but a nice composition!

this is pure delight! what a joy to see this technical and artistic marvel.

best image i have seen in days here on PN. great tones.

Yes! This is exactly what I needed to see to reduce the stress. Elements of the TRUTH contained in this image. Even as we look, the sky is falling and we do not know which came first - the CHICKEN or the EGG.

good image, would be improved if cropped to eliminate some of the distraction on the right side.

nice concept....good graphic imagery.

everything but the watch is great. maybe i am too out of synch to understand.

i like the boxes and angles.

looks cold, emotionally as well as physically...would be more attractive if she did not look so very tense.

strong woman, not sexy, yet sensual...not a victim and not a toy for others to play with. interesting colors and scheme in the composition...have seen other works! it is attractive!
